Join Forest Park Conservancy’s restoration team and learn about Native plants, why volunteering is a critical component of our Land Care plans, and become involved with other passionate nature lovers helping protect our emerging forests.
From the English Ivy encroaching on the tree canopy, to the Poison Hemlock sprawling off of trails, a human touch is needed to help protect our natural Resources and critical habitats that support life. Over the next few years we will be reassessing our best practices for the work we are doing, establishing better control methodologies with a focus on training and education, particularly with plant Identification.
Restoration events for the summer will primarily focus on spot weeding in previously planted areas; mitigating non-native species which are encroaching on sensitive habitats throughout the park, and prepping for further restoration work in the Fall/Winter.
This activity takes place outdoors in the open air, and though participants often pass each other on the narrow trail, we have lots of room to spread out. With that in mind, masks and vaccination are not required for this activity. However we require volunteers to stay home when feeling any symptoms of illness (regardless of COVID-19 test result) and fully support participants’ choice to wear a mask if desired.
Guided by the Greater Forest Park Conservation Initiative, the Forest Park Conservancy maintains trails, restores native habitat, and inspires community appreciation and future stewardship for generations to come.
